About the Trust Register and Database

The on-line Database includes the name, address, file number and a photo if appropriate of all places and objects for which the Trust maintains a file.

The list of those places that are classified is known as the Trust Register.

For places on the Trust Register, there should also be a Statement of Significance.

For places noted as 'file only', a paper file exists, but the place has not been classified.

Frequently Asked Questions

For each entry the Trust has a paper file, held at the Trust's offices at 4 Parliament Place, East Melbourne 3004. This may be accessed for a fee (no fee is charged for Trust members).

To view a file an appointment must be made with the Information Services Officer on (03) 9656 9818 and 24 hours notice is required. (Same day access may be granted in some circumstances and the access fee may be doubled.)

For a Classification Letter, please contact the Information Services Officer on (03) 9656 9818.
